Shane: In real life - I don't - you know, I want - I want to hype him up and make sure he's feeling good, you know, but when we're in a haunted location, I want him to be as freaked out as possible. I want those eyes bulging.
Ryan: They are, they - yeah.
Shane: He's a bulger.
Ryan: They were. They were bulgin'. My balls were bulging.
Shane: [laughs] Eyeballs.
Ryan: Correct.
Ryan & Shane Talk The Future of Ghost Files & Watcher Streaming Platform Apr 25, 2024
I'm so unironically happy that people were genuinely having a great time at the Ghost files tour. Like, fuck yea, people were just having a good time, it wasn't a dumpster fire. I am legitimately just so fucking happy rn.
… yeah. i’ll give you time to reflect on this… (oh and btw, ryan still talks about how he remembers so vividly how shane had died trying to save him in the snake dream…)
Interviewer: So you've announced that you're doing your own streaming platform correct? What's going to change really you know?
Ryan: For Ghost Files, I mean it's kind of the thing that's going to allow us to take bigger swings like we did this season, like going international, upgrading some of our kit, and just overall making the show better and more sustainable behind the scenes 'cuz it's a really hard show to make. And then as far as like other series it's going to allow us to make those a little bit better but also allow us to make new series in general, and also bring on new faces to the to the channel that we haven't previously been able to.
YouTube is like a little bit of a harder place sometimes for that kind of content to survive…sometimes if something isn't getting the proper amount of views that it would need it wouldn't survive perhaps in that environment but on a different environment, perhaps our own platform, then maybe it will have a better chance and now that we have both it'll allow us to, I guess, really give everything a try.
But really more than anything it's just about improving things across the board and then taking bigger risks on our shows.

Watcher should make a show where Ryan and Shane sit at a table and give out advice/react to situations sent in by the fans. I feel like it’d be so fucking funny and have that unscripted and rewatchable vibe of unsolved
